Agli inizi del novecento due cognati: Carmine Malvagna e Luciano Prizzi, uomini dell’entro-terra siciliano non particolarmente poveri, spinti da motivi lontani dal cercare il solo benessere, raggiunsero l’America. Di loro il primo fuggiva da una promessa e l’altro dalle sue paure. Comunque, erano entrambi decisi ad arricchirsi abbastanza da far vivere i propri figli nell’opu-lenza. Pur di riuscirci Carmine e la moglie Rosa Fornari, ricongiuntasi a lui, sua sorella Maria insieme al marito Luciano camminarono più volte sul filo del rasoio, vivendo pericolosamente buona parte dei trent’anni passati in quella nazione. Aiutati da una fortuna benevola e da amici sinceri, realizzarono quanto si erano prefissi. La casualità delle loro vicissitudini, fece sì che le brutture della prima guerra mondiale e lo sconforto conseguente alla grande crisi economica del 1929 in America, gli scivolassero addosso senza coinvolgerli. Ciò permise a queste persone, indubbiamente speciali, di vivere il resto dei giorni messi loro a disposizione dall’Onnipotente come ricchi uomini d’affari o proprietari terrieri.
